A Divine Assistant Shows Up
as a Health Insurance Saleswoman
in the Nick of Time
4/96
I was standing in the kitchen of the Glenville, NY house one cloudy mid morning along with my father and a brother and they were just standing there while betraying an awkward silence when suddenly a white Ford station wagon came speeding into the drive way at about 70 mph. I went over to the front door to see who it was and the driver, a thirty something woman in a black business pant suit, was already at the door.
"Hi can I come in?" she asked but before I could answer she had already just let herself in and made a bee line to the kitchen where two of so my so-called relatives were standing silently while all the while she was giving me looks of a preternatural urgency. I then realized that she was a Divine Assistant who had showed up to deflect something serious.
"I'm selling health insurance," she said. "Interested?"
"Oh no, no thanks," I said, "none needed."
"Very well then," she said and gave me a quick wink.
And that was it . She then just let herself out and got back in her station wagon and drove off. My so-called relatives were now just looking at the floor like a couple of dumb apes. What exactly was she deflecting? Were my so-called relatives nothing but a bunch of murdering bastards?
I then realized that she was the very same Divine Assistant who showed up in a similar fashion to save me from a whole lot of hurt back in May '95 in a bar out in Mountain View, CA. That entire story is included in the opening chapter of the nonfiction book
Religiously Significant Encounters with the Infernal Regions Themselves
And she has the books opening line too when in a Mt. View restaurant back in May '95 I brought up the fact that I just read Alexander Hamilton's biography and I was complaining that those old fashioned lives were so much more exciting than our modern boring one's and she just suddenly blurted out -
"John, Hamilton's dead!"
"He is?" I said, in mock disbelief after a brief pause. And then in an even lower and meaner and slower voice I said -
"Why that dirty rotten . . ."
And then we laughed. Anyway I got the message - she was telling me that we had both been alive back then and had both known him quite well. So of course my soul was overjoyed!
And it should be noted, right now, that the most FASCINATING ASPECT of this entire occurrence, BY FAR, is the fact that this Divine assistant could not only foresee both of these upcoming disasters that were quickly headed my way, from wherever in the universe she was (?), but was also able to easily APPEAR IN STRIDE each time and in the perfect guise for the occasion, eg. perfectly disguised as a health insurance saleswoman white Ford station wagon included - and then SEEMLESSLY DEFLECT the potential incursion in just the right way!
If that isn't without exception the most astonishing thing that you've ever heard about in your entire life …
YOU'RE NUTS !!!
